“Be A Nice Human,” New Work by Nero
New work from Philly-area street artist Nero around Philly this week, including a brand new stencil Be A Nice Human, which the artist goes on to explain on his Instagram is, “Basic knowledge but sometimes people just need to be reminded.”
Be A Nice Human (photographed above) can be found on Girard avenue at Hope street on the border of Fishtown, and You Belong Here (photographed below) on 2nd street at Laurel street in Northern Liberties!
Readers of this blog may remember that Nero installed a banner version of his You Belong Here wheatpaste for the Revolutionary: A Pop-Up Street Art Exhibition that I curated this past summer with Visit Philly! For that exhibition, Nero wrote in his Artist Statement that, “You Belong Here signifies that regardless of your ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, disability or income, your life is just as significant as anyone else’s.”
P.s. If you’re curious about the Deer Jawn sticker in that first set of photos above, check out this interview I did with that artist here!
